Drove past there today....I read alot about the history . It is truly heart breaking to know it's past. If people knew, I could only hope they would hold reverence for the souls that had their lives stolen rather than just having an adventure of creeping themselves out.

Mr X , I am also a tradesman..... In this area. I can't even fathom the images, surroundings and situations you must of had been forced to tolerate and deal with mentally in this god forsaken place. I have been to pennhurst after it closed. This place makes your guts churn when it's unoccupied. Nothing good happened here.

i think it was for hydrotherapy baths...we had something similar when i worked at a center for the mental ill in the 80's....it was a nice place for the handicapped and for the employees...sure there are mean people in every profession but basically the people i knew were good and caring people and most loved their clients

I have moved offices, equipment for the Federal goverment. They list all the items in the buildings, serial numbers in a way, with a sticker like this. If they move items from one location to another, or junked the item, it had to be listed. Always wonder if they really could keep track of every little thing.
